Coming here as a child and even now the collection is utterly astounding I can spend hours in the fossel and mineral room. Plus the architecture of the building is completely unique and breath taking.

Excellent Turkish bakery. I highly recommend their £2 gözleme.

No better breakfast in London, luckily just five minutes from my office.

If you want to eat a good cake this is the place! They have so many cakes to choose from but the best one is the white chocolate cheesecake. 

Getting lost is an age old suggestion but a good one. Put away your cell phone or your A-Z and just wander around. I still do this regularly even though Ive lived here for nearly 10 years. London is a big city and it drip feeds you its secrets sometimes. You will come across things you wouldn't usually, in amongst the Starbucks and pret a mange there are some amazing sights. Just 'being' somewhere is a great experience and one no guide book can help you find.
